Caribbean Dreaming
The Lesser Antilles (?) look smaller and more tightly packed. I think there are more ferries among them. I may walk instead of bike there.
I've noticed while looking at Airbnb maps of some of these poorer Caribbean countries that, despite the presence of rooms for under $10 a night, there are also places available for thousands of dollars per night!
It feels comfortable to stay in so many Airbnb's after a while camping. (Comfortable inside, a pain to reserve and get to the places with their poor descriptions.) Still, it's running down my funds, since I've had some struggles getting as much paying work as I now want. Also, I like the sun, the wind, etc., when camping.
I like to have quiet denouement periods at the end of the day. After working, to relax. Towards sleep.
I've been on an early schedule for a while. Waking up early, getting some work done, often seeing a sunrise, getting out in the daylight, often seeing a sunset, getting to bed early.
I worried that staying indoors more often, my body would lose its connection with the daylight, and I'd wind up sleeping in. Luckily, I'm still on an early schedule.
In some areas, like Europe, a country encompasses a medium size region with one or more traditional populations, having unique languages, traditions, etc. In other areas, like the USA, a country encompasses a large size region with a mix of different populations. In yet other areas, like the Caribbean, a country encompasses a small size region with a mix of different populations.
In these small countries, each country still needs the basic requirements for a country. So it's funny to see on some small island the size of a neighborhood the national center for art, the different branches of government, the military, etc.!
